For mixed status families--families that include both citizens and noncitizens--this is more than a political issue: it's a deeply personal one. Undocumented family members and legal residents lack the rights and benefits of their family members who are US citizens, while family members and legal residents sometimes have their rights compromised by punitive immigration policies based on a strict \"citizen\/noncitizen\" dichotomy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of personal narratives and academic essays is the first to focus on the daily lives and experiences, as well as the broader social contexts, for mixed status families in the contemporary United States. Threats of raids, deportation, incarceration, and detention loom large over these families. At the same time, their lives are characterized by the resilience, perseverance, and resourcefulness necessary to maintain strong family bonds, both within the United States and across national boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e April Schueths\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295995009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295995007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"April Schueths","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056736596223,"sku":"9780295995007","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59af9d51-bb51-4d22-b665-a24a84d45b35.jpg?v=1685042980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-together-living-apart-april-schueths-9780295995007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
